Looking for a great place to grab a cup of coffee or tea? FLEX member Hannah Gamble recently opened Iron Furnace Coffee, located on Liberty Street in Franklin!

At Iron Furnace, Hannah is roasting her own coffee beans, has a limited food menu that features local ingredients, and offers a variety of quality drinks made with both coffee and tea.

Hannah and her husband Josh moved back to the area in 2020 from Pittsburgh, where Hannah worked at a coffee company. She worked at Core Goods in Oil City for almost two years, before opening Iron Furnace this May.

“It was always my dream to have my own coffee shop and opening Iron Furnace has been challenging, but incredibly rewarding,” said Hannah. “Franklin and the entire community have been so welcoming and supportive and I look forward to the many years of running this business.”

Congratulations, Hannah, and thank you for investing in our region by opening a business!
